character as you make your way through All the Bad Parts, showing you
everything your character can see. When you are in a building, “slivers”
of the building melt away as you enter new rooms, allowing you to see inside.

The
World of All the Bad Parts

People and Cut Scenes

While you are exploring, you will
come across many people who can help you on your journey. At some intersections
the action will pause and let you catch your breath while characters talk to each
other. Be sure to pay special attention to what they say to you; it may
be the only way to find out what is going on around you.

Enemies

As the player’s world erupts into
chaos, he will find himself going up against several different types of enemies.
Some fly, some crawl, and some just punch you in the face. None of them
can be defeated with civilized discourse.

Bat

There
are over 1,100 species of bat. A vast majority of them get along fine
with humans. One species, however, has developed a taste for human
blood.Or pig blood.Or hedgehog blood.Really, it doesn’t exactly have a very
refined palate.

Rat

Whenever
anything horrible in history has happened, rats have been there, feeding on our
misfortune. They freely spread the plague during the Middle Ages.
They were, quite suspiciously, the first evacuees of the Titanic. And
first hand reports indicate that the Great Seattle Fire of 1889 was started by
a group of “no-good-punk-kid rats who were smoking behind a carpentry
shop”. They are far better organized than you’d think.

Bugs

They
eat our wheat while the crops are still growing in the fields.They drink our blood while we are out
enjoying a picnic.And when we die, they
devour us whole.

And
despite the fantastic service we give them, they are lousey tippers.

Weapons

Fights in All the Bad Parts may
start with fists, but they usually end with large heavy objects being
lobbed. A wide variety of weapons can be found. Some can be wielded
like a club, some can be thrown, but all are guaranteed to help you in your
journey.If you hit an enemy, they’ll
see red, but if you get hit, the world will explode in pain, and your vision
will shake as you try to stabilize yourself.

Note: The
“Camera Shake Feature” can easily be turned off by “not getting hit”.

Baseball Bat

Over three
feet of wood that has been designed to send a small leather-wrapped ball
sailing over an outfielder’s head. Coincidently, it works almost as well to
fight off advancing enemies. And if you give them a splinter, it might
just do extra damage!

Dodgeball

Remember
that time in grade school when you played dodgeball, and that jerk hit you
right in the head? Leave that kind of mental trauma on your enemy, too,
with a weapon you can throw great distances. Seriously though, what was
that guy’s problem? He was even on your team!

Lead Pipe

Nature’s way of telling an opponent “we just aren’t meant to
be friends, our lives our taking us in different directions, it’s not you it’s
me”. The most meleest of the melee weapons to be found in the early
levels. Range, speed, and a decent “ow” factor.

Health Items

It is impossible to fight an unknown future on an
empty stomach.Luckily, the world is
littered with edible treats that will re-energize you for the fight ahead. Unfortunately,
it is literally littered.You might want
to dust it of first.Or, if it’s a drink,
at least check for floaters.
